"How much?"
When the villagers heard it, they froze, one and two seemed to have heard something very incredible, and their faces were unbelievable.
"Incredible, isn’t it? But this is the real country. The price of salt is so cheap. Do you know why you buy salt so expensive? "
Xu Tong said with a smile, "90% of the price of a catty of salt is tax, and more than 90% is tax, because everyone has to eat salt, and people in the court have got very rich money and feasted!
On the other hand, it is common for farmers in China to worry about buying salt because they won’t eat it. Not only is it cheap, but the quality is also good. Many places in Song Dynasty feel that the taste is too weak to taste the salt, but there is no such situation in China. I feel that the taste of Chinese people is too strong. "
The villagers listen to these things beyond their imagination, they are at a loss, they are puzzled, and they can’t help but imagine.
Xu Tong will say that the emperor of the country sent other ministries to set up peasant associations in various places, not only distributing land to farmers, but also allocating houses, farm tools and livestock to farmers, and will try his best to allocate them so that farmers can resume production quickly.
It is not enough to resume production. The emperor will also let the instructors of the peasant associations teach everyone to read. Many farmers are learning to read with the instructors from illiteracy to semi-illiteracy and then from semi-illiteracy to illiteracy.
Chinese officials never dare to beat and scold the Ministry and the people because it is strictly forbidden. If such a thing happens, local judicial officials will teach him to be a man, and he will lose his position and freedom.
The emperor of China will also send special purchasing personnel to the countryside to buy grain and other agricultural products from farmers. After the purchase of copper coins, the tax collectors will come, and the farmers will pay taxes on copper coins without paying food or loss
Nowadays, in many places in China, people can eat two meals a day, and they are all dry meals. Although it is difficult to eat delicious side dishes or oil and water, two dry meals are absolutely edible.
The emperor of the country also sent people to build water conservancy projects all over the country. Many water conservancy projects have been renovated or established from scratch, and it has become much easier for ordinary people to irrigate the land. It is not necessary to walk five or six miles to carry water to irrigate the fields.
All these are too numerous to mention.
Xu Tongtiao is an ordinary people who can really enjoy the preferential treatment after the change of the imperial policy. After their liberation, they have a much easier life than before.
They are no longer bent by the burden of life, their faces can see smiles and their eyes are full of longing for the future.
As Xu Tong tells these stories, the villagers seem to have some different ideas in the compilation net of the Southern Song Dynasty court.
Xu Tong described the country as a shining lighthouse, letting everyone know that the country should have everything there, and there are people living a much happier and hopeful life across the Yangtze River.
This will inevitably bring some changes to the stagnant situation of these farmers.
When Zhao Yucheng and his 100 comrades tried their best to develop the peasant army in Luoxiao Mountain area, the Southern Song Dynasty did not react at all.
Because the peasant army launched an uprising in Jizhou, four county towns were destroyed in succession, and hundreds of officials were killed, and the Jizhou army was killed. This change caused a large-scale chain reaction
Zhao Yucheng decisively led the peasant army southwest into the business base in Luoxiao Mountain area, but they destroyed the ruling order and Jizhou did not calm down because of it.
Farmers didn’t stop there when they didn’t catch the first wave of rebellion.
Longxing mansion first knew that there was a rebellion, and it was not late at the end of April.
They immediately sent people to investigate and learned that there was a rebellion on Jiangnan West Road that swept through four counties, but the rebel peasant army soon left the rebel land. It is said that the specific direction of all the way south is unknown.
This also got?
A rebel army killed so many officials, destroyed four counties and then disappeared. What is this?
We must find out what happened!
Officials from Longxing Prefecture continued to send people to track down and then visited the four damaged counties. They found a chicken feather and were very angry. Then they learned that the rebel army seemed to have disappeared into the mountains.
Luoxiao Mountain has a vast territory and the terrain is very complex and fragmented. It is really difficult to find out what is going on inside and where the rebels are.
Since they have no further military action, there is no need to call in a large army for the time being. There is a chicken feather in front of them that urgently needs someone to clean up. On the Longxing government side, some small troops and small officials have been stationed to clean up the four counties swept by the peasant army.
Then they didn’t make any further moves except sending people into Luo Xiao Mountain to inquire about the news.
Someone asked officials on Jiangnan West Road whether to tell Lin ‘an the news, and this suggestion was also rejected.
At that time, when the army threatened Lin ‘an all the way south, it was reported that these local troops had won a great victory, and Song Jun was defeated like a mountain. The local government in Song Dynasty was also very pessimistic about this war, and some people were prepared in case Lin ‘an was broken and the emperor died.
At that time, they all felt that Lin ‘an couldn’t keep himself. How could they have time to deal with local [small-scale] rebellion?
Their own main energy is also devoted to the Song War, so they will not send news to Lin ‘an for the time being, and their own departments will digest this rebellion to maintain local stability and not continue to make trouble.
What to do next is to wait until the situation of the Song War is clear.
If the court passes the news to Lin ‘an again, will it send troops to fight bandits or appease something? Besides, the court will definitely pay another sum of money anyway, and everyone will still get it.
If the imperial court can’t force the army to do the same thing as the 8 Jin Army did in those days, then where is the rebellion?
That’s what this group of officials thought. They didn’t make a greater response to the rebellion, but dragged it on until mid-May.
After the Fuxing uprising, the second wave of peasant uprising broke out.
This peasant uprising was not led by the Renaissance Association, but initiated by local farmers because of the disorder of local governance.
Chapter 737 Run to Lin ‘an Zhao Gou.
Fuxing led the peasant army to sweep through four counties, killing many local officials, destroying the ruling institutions and looting the treasury, so that local officials could not continue to maintain an iron fist posture to deter farmers.
And those sent to petty officials and petty officials and Song Jun soldiers seem to have never intended such changes.
They don’t think that the official sent them to save the local people, but that this is a good opportunity to make a fortune.
Therefore, they not only failed to maintain order well, but also bullied the people by local Weifu.
Seeing that a large number of officials were killed, the resentment and anger accumulated in the hearts of farmers suddenly gushed out like a volcanic eruption.
So within ten days, farmers in Jizhou launched the second wave of uprising.
In some places, well-known farmers gathered together to start an uprising. In just a few days, more than a dozen large and small insurgents were established, with a total number of more than 100,000. They all madly attacked the city and wiped out the remaining loyalist forces in Jizhou.
